A multifunctional ship for the collection and recycling of ocean debris and the system thereof may include a hull; a detection device provided on the hull to detect ocean debris floating on the sea or deposited on the seabed; a collection device installed on the hull to collect the ocean debris detected by the detection device; a sorting device installed on the hull to sort the ocean debris collected by the collection device; a compressing device installed on the hull to compress the sorted ocean debris to compress and remove moisture and reduce the volume; a waste plastic recycling device installed on the hull to produce recycled oil by thermally decomposing the waste plastic compressed in the compressing device; a storage tank installed at the bottom of the hull to store the recycled oil produced; and a purifier for purifying wastewater generated in the process of producing recycled oil.
Device for preparing composite material waste
The invention relates to a device for preparing composite material waste, in particular carbon fiber-reinforced waste, comprising a comminuting assembly (2) for the composite material waste, a downstream temperature control zone (3) for controlling the temperature of the comminuted composite material waste, and a forming unit (4) for producing composite material waste compacts. In order to provide companies without recycling facilities, regardless of the type of composite material waste, with a low-cost and environmentally friendly alternative to dumping harmful composite material waste in landfills, it is proposed that the comminuting assembly (2), the temperature control zone (3) and the forming unit (4) are arranged in an at least substantially hermetically sealed and transportable working chamber (1).

Marine vessel with integrated plastic shredding and pelletizing system for ocean cleanup and repurposing into plastic asphalt
A marine vessel designed for the collection, shredding, and pelletizing of oceanic plastic waste. The vessel uses renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines to power onboard systems, including AI-enhanced sensors that detect and target high-density areas of plastic debris. Once collected, the plastic is shredded and processed into uniform plastic pellets optimized for use in plastic asphalt production. The vessel also includes storage compartments for the pellets and a crane system for transferring containers filled with pellets to adjacent vessels or shore-based transport. This integrated system addresses inefficiencies in traditional ocean cleanup methods by enabling immediate onboard processing, reducing transportation needs, and repurposing plastic waste into a valuable industrial resource, while significantly minimizing environmental impact through sustainable energy use.
